C210 An Assassin from the Imperial Palace

Yu Longchen was wearing a black robe, standing on top of the wall of the high courtyard of the Imperial Palace. Looking at the palace maids passing through the corridor, he had a worried look on his face. With a light leap, he followed behind the palace maids.

From the Imperial Palace to the evening, they were all patrolling people. The palace maid barely avoided them. After spending two hours, they finally arrived at the inner court of the Imperial Palace.

There was a small garden at the intersection of the Cold Palace and the front hall. The palace maid hid behind a large tree. Yu Longchen jumped down from the wall.

"Ah." The palace maid was shocked and called out. She sat down along the tree trunk and saw that it was Yu Longchen who took the opportunity to kneel down. "This servant greets Your Highness. Your Royal Highness, forgive me. "

Yu Longchen coldly looked at her but did not say anything. He gave her an invisible sense of oppression.

"Oh." The palace maid seemed to have suddenly thought of something and stood up straight, "This servant found out that the Emperor gave the poison wine back to Consort Lan and Your Ladyship because she lost her chastity. The one who gave the wine to Consort Lan and Your Ladyship was Consort Long."

"Impossible!" Yu Longchen originally wanted to shout out. How could his Royal Mother lose her chastity? After thinking for a moment, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Consort Long?" There was a fierce look in his eyes, as if he would kill the palace maid in the next second.

"This servant dare not lie to Your Highness." The palace maid looked up and immediately became afraid, "This was said by the beautiful palace maid. Because this servant and her are sisters, when she was drunk, she said it."

"You are indeed smart and only approach useful people." It was unknown whether Yu Longchen's words were praising her or mocking her, "What else?"

"Consort Long saw Consort Lan and Your Ladyship before they were sent out." The palace maid did not even dare to straighten her waist, "That day, the pavilion went but because Consort Long was there, the pavilion did not go in."

"You are saying that this matter has something to do with Consort Long?" Yu Longchen raised his eyebrows, his eyes carrying a bit of sadness.

The palace maid nodded and her hands unconsciously tightened, "This servant only found out about this."

Yu Longchen walked a few steps towards the palace maid and pulled out the dagger from his body. His eyes were filled with killing intent.

"What does Your Highness want? Kill this servant?" Although the palace maid was afraid, she could not give in and could only argue, "This servant helped Your Highness."

" How would This King know if what you said is true or not? Who is the person who arranged for you to do these things?" Yu Longchen only stood in front of her and did not make any unnecessary movements.

"Your Royal Highness does not believe this servant. Why should I listen? Since that is the case, if Your Royal Highness wants to kill, then kill. Just take it that this servant believes the wrong person." The palace maid turned her face away and closed her eyes, waiting for death.

Yu Longchen retracted his dagger and stared at the palace maid to check if there was anything unusual about her." Get up. "

The palace maid was relieved and slowly stood up. Her calves and stomach were trembling.

"Someone come! Catch the assassin!!"

Suddenly, a few shouts came from outside the wall of the garden. The palace maid was shocked and looked at Yu Longchen, not knowing what to do.

The footsteps outside overlapped and the flames also entered through the wall, the shouts getting closer and closer. Yu Longchen frowned and quickly walked in front. Without needing him to say anything, the palace maid followed closely behind.

Following the corner of the wall a few times, the light of the fire behind him also got closer, just like how they knew where Yu Longchen was going in advance and chased after him closely. The footsteps did not stop for a moment.

Yu Longchen did not say anything, but his footsteps became faster and faster. The palace maids were somewhat unable to keep up. When they went up the stairs, they panicked for a moment, stepped on an empty step, and twisted their feet. It was very difficult to get up from sitting on the ground.

Yu Longchen only stood in the distance and looked coldly at her, as if he did not intend to help her. In the blink of an eye, he walked towards the palace maid again.

The sound was getting closer and closer.

"Ka!" The sudden sound made the palace maid's heart turn cold, she was about to be discovered. What to do! What to do?

Before she could clear her thoughts, her hand was grabbed.

When he looked up, he saw a woman with unkempt hair and a dirty face. Without saying anything, she grabbed the palace maid's sleeve. The palace maid was in a difficult position as she looked at Yu Longchen.

Without saying a word, Yu Longchen entered the dark room. The palace maid also borrowed the woman's strength to climb in.

The moment the door closed, the fire lit up the door.

Yu Longchen sized up the small but messy furnishings in the room. The gauze curtains on the pillars could no longer be distinguished, only countless holes could be seen.

The palace maid also did not dare to snort, covering her ankle as she sat on the ground without saying anything. The woman sat on a stool that was about to snap and looked into the mirror.

The fire outside the door did not decrease, instead, it became more and more, only hearing people talking.

"Commander, we didn't find the assassin."

"Have you searched carefully?"

"We did, but we didn't find any assassins outside the cold palace."

"Then it must be in the palace!"

This sentence was directed at the palace where Yu Longchen was. Yu Longchen stared at the door. These Praetorian Guard were here for him. If they found out that King Chu had not been summoned to the palace at night, they would be charged with treason by Yu Longzi's men.

"Have you found out?" Yu Longtang's voice entered Yu Longchen's ears. He took a step forward and listened to what was happening outside the door.

"Second Prince, I found it all. I didn't find any trace of the assassin."

"Then why didn't you go somewhere else to check? Why are you still here? Can you afford to let the assassin go? "

"Second Prince, there are still two palaces that have yet to be investigated."

"I will go there myself." Yu Longtang looked at the dimly glowing old palace and walked up to it.

The commander put his hand on the sword and saber at his waist, silently gripping the handle of the sword. The Praetorian Guard, who was following behind him, did the same thing.

Yu Longtang glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, paused for a moment, then suddenly turned around and said, "The people living inside are all former concubines. You guys just wait at the door, I will check it out myself."

"I hope Second Prince is thinking of his own safety. If the assassin is inside, and if Second Prince is injured, it will be the fault of the lower officials." The commander said it was a suggestion, but his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

"Does this prince's words not work?" Yu Longtang was furious. He stared at the commander and said, "Or is it because you look down on me so much and think that I can't even defeat a mere assassin?"

"I dare not." The commander was angry, but he didn't dare to make a move. He clasped his hands in apology.

"Then guard the door properly!" Yu Longtang glanced at the Praetorian Guard behind him. Those people all lowered their heads.

Yu Longtang pushed open the door and saw a woman rushing over from the side. She shouted in a muffled voice, "Return my child! Give me back..."

Yu Longtang dodged and the woman fell on the threshold one by one. When the commander saw this, he moved his legs and pulled them back. He stared at the dark room and cursed in his heart. Cold Palace There was only one candle?! He couldn't see anything clearly!

When the woman saw that there were so many people at the door, she got up and leaned against the door. The door fell backwards, and the woman also fell down, sleeping on the floor.

A few Praetorian Guard members laughed out loud. The commander looked back and no one dared to make a sound.

The woman got up again and squatted on the ground. She hugged her knees and moved toward the door. She leaned against the door, not daring to look at Yu Longtang.

Yu Longtang did not care about her. He walked around the small room and turned behind the missing screen. He looked at the person in front of him and was stunned.

Yu Longchen stood behind the screen and saw that Yu Longtang did not move. He was only indifferent. The palace maid squatted on the ground and covered her mouth with her hand as she looked at Yu Longtang in fear.

Yu Longchen saw that he did not move and pointed at the door. Yu Longtang pretended to be fine and walked a few more times. Just as he reached the door, he saw the commander looking at him.

"Commander doesn't believe me." Yu Longtang walked out of the door and scolded.

"I dare not." The commander lowered his head and looked into the room.

When the woman saw that someone had walked out, she hurriedly got up. As she closed the door, she cursed, "Get lost, get lost for Bengong!"

Yu Longtang turned his head and looked at her indifferently. He stepped aside and pointed at the door, saying unhappily, "Since the commander feels that this prince is not investigating carefully, then you can go by yourself. This prince wants to go somewhere else to investigate." After saying that, he left.

The commander walked up the stairs and thought for a while. Then, he brought the Praetorian Guard and followed Yu Longtang.
